If you haven’t been to Lexington Market in a while, or even if you’re a regular there, we hope you’ll join us on a tour of this iconic Baltimore place to learn about recent changes and plans for the future of the market. Along the tour, we will talk with the owners of Faidley’s, Berger’s, Konstant’s Candy, and other vendors that have been in their stalls for 100 years or more. We will also go down and explore the catacombs under the marketplace, getting a first-hand look at these mysterious spaces that are normally closed to the public.

When the fates spared Thomas O’Neill’s dry goods store from the flames of the Great 1904 Fire, he pledged to build a new church in Baltimore. With funds from his bequest, the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen was completed in 1959 as the third largest cathedral in the U.S. Join us and docents from the Cathedral to explore this architectural gem that masterfully combines a traditional Gothic style with loads of Art Deco elements both inside and out.
